and I'm pretty pumped for it. Yay U of A's awesomeness, not only of the fantastic new people and the activities we're gonna do and West Ed and the debating, but also that I'll see some great people from SUNIA which is quite exciting!
I wrote an okay Social essay today, it would've been good had I really thought about examples and such to use and my SEX kinda fell apart and examples ran into each other. However, I did write it on the computer which was both a good thing and a bad thing, the easy removal or repositioning of sentences was nice but sometimes the accents were a bit trying and the typos and whatever.
French wasn't completely terrible, I'm pretty sure Bandol likes me and I don't know how to feel about that.
Bio was pretty good, we continued our study of the human reproductive system, moving on from the basics of men to the basics of women today, or at least what's between their legs.
After school I went to try and find Mme Dunn to talk to her about the animal thing to relax people for U of A but I could not find her. Instead I had a good trilingual conversation with Sra Noble about Spanish and wanting to use different words from each language at different times and vegetarianism and travel and German and the Spanish ladies at Sears and general chatter.
Then home again home again to pack a bit for tomorrow, which I'm going to go finish when I'm done here, and eat supper and kinda lounge around. I will do review and such as soon as packing is done, which shouldn't take a long time at all.
If anybody wants to volunteer info for my Social project, my part being the "defis de Nigeria", it would be greatly appreciated.
So good-night to you all for now and I'll write all about U of A and the Edmonton experience when I get back.

*hands you a certificate*
Well for Nigeria, they have TONS of oil but the gov't keeps all the money for themselves and gives very little (if any) back to the people. Therefore, the people of Nigeria are in poverty whilst the gov't and those close get mansions and suchnot. (Civilian forces and military forces employ cohersion methods to get control over petroleum fields---some areas suffer environmental degredation as a result)
Also, like many African nations sadly, there's alot of conflict. I think since the civil war, there's been quite alot of ethic and religious violence going on.
And that's barely the tip of iceberg. =O (Chances are that made no sense, and I may have mixed up some things so don't quote my info)
Though this has nothing to do with défis that Nigeria faces, I have to say, they field really good soccer teams (Thier women's U21 team whomped Canada; in a couple of World Cups, they've shut out some of the big soccer countries)
Actually, is that what you meant by défis?
PS. Getting on Bandol's good side is both bad and good---50/50.
If Amlake has the right idea re: les defis, talk a lot about the Niger Delta. And also Ken Saro-Wiwa, and Shell. Also also geo-religious cleavages (the country is divided north/south between Christian & Muslim).
have fun mike! who else is going?
Mike! You are back by now, and I want to know in detail everything that happened! Everything, I tell you!!
